I am sincerely sorry for the long hiatus I have taken the last month, but I am back to give you a full breakdown on the Super Bowl. As you well know, the Seahawks and Broncos will go at it at 6:25 at MetLife Stadium for all the marbles. This game is full of intrigue and has some great matchup to watch. You most likely heard Seattle CB Richard Sherman's interview after the win against the 49ers in the NFC Championship. These teams have had a very similar road to the Super Bowl, dominating most opponents in the regular season and having some close games in the Playoffs, but still prevailing. The Broncos knocked off the Patriots in Denver to clinch their ticket to NY/NJ. There are so many storylines to this game, including the weather. Everybody has been stressing about the weather that will happen on Sunday evening, and, as a New Yorker, I think they are making too big of a deal out of this. This is the way football should be played. There has been a lot of pressure put on Peyton Manning to win his 2nd Super Bowl in his brother's house. He is going up against the best secondary and defense in the league. The key of the game will be the Broncos' receiving core against this Seattle secondary. Seattle likes to play physical, and it should be interesting to see the stacked Denver receivers respond to that. Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker, and Julius Thomas are going to have to help Manning out today against Defensive Backs such as Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas, and Walter Thurmond. Neither teams have a plethora of Super Bowl experience. In fact, no Seahawks have ever played in the Super Bowl, and only 4 Broncos have. The big question will be if Denver can stop the Seattle rushing attack with Marshawn Lynch and the scrambling ability of QB Russell Wilson. Denver can run the ball too with a nice one-two punch consisting of Knowshon Moreno and a little bit of Montee Ball. This should be a historic game, and it will come down to the wire.
My Pick: Seattle 27 Denver 20
I think the Seahawks get it done with a balanced offensive attack and I think Russell Wilson and Golden Tate connect for a few scores.
Super Bowl MVP: Golden Tate
